He began his career as a military engineer during the Napoleonic Wars, but even then was publishing significant mathematical papers, and was persuaded by Lagrange and Laplace to devote himself entirely to mathematics. His greatest contributions are considered to be the Cours d'analyse de l'cole Royale Polytechnique [tel], Rsum des leons sur le calcul infinitsimal [tel] and Leons sur les applications du calcul infinitsimal la gomtrie [tel], and his pioneering work encompassed a huge range of topics, most significantly real analysis, the theory of functions of a complex variable, and theoretical mechanics. Twenty-six volumes of his collected papers were published bet.
